Answer:

The original price of the book was $12.50

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 0.2(3x) + 10 = 40
30x - 2(3x) + 100 = 400
   30x - 6x + 100 = 400
           24x + 100 = 400
                     24x = 300
                         x = 12.50

Find the values of x and y so that ABCD will be a parallelogram.
arsen [322]

Given:

Figure of a parallelogram.

To find:

The values of x and y.

Solution:

If two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line, then the alternate interior angles are congruent.

4x=24            (Alternate interior angles)

x=\dfrac{24}{4}

x=6

And,

y-10=32            (Alternate interior angles)

y=32+10

y=42

The value of x is 6 and the value of y is 42.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

You plant a rectangular rose garden along the side of your garage. You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing. Th
solmaris [256]

Let's assume

length of rectangle =L

width of rectangle =W

You enclose 3 sides of the garden with 40 feet of fencing

so, we get

L+2W=40

now, we can solve for L

L=40-2W

we know that

area of rectangle is

A=L*W

100=L*W

now, we can plug

100=(40-2W)*W

now, we can solve for W

-2W^2+40W-100=0

we can use quadratic formula

W=\frac{-40+\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}

W=\frac{-40-\sqrt{40^2-4\left(-2\right)\left(-100\right)}}{2\left(-2\right)}

we can take anyone value ..because both are giving positive value

first dimensions:

W=2.929

now, we can find L

L=40-2*2.929

L=34.142

so, length is 34.142feet

width is 2.929 feet

Second dimensions:

W=17.071

now, we can find L

L=40-2*17.071

L=5.858

so, length is 5.858feet

width is 17.071 feet
